    I'd be interested to see an example background.

     

    I'm not convinced the digitised actors will look good in a game. Quite often, digitised characters just don't look very good in older games. But examples here might help too.

     

    Digitised characters would be useful for someone to rotoscope (draw over) to help animate at the very least though.

     

    I personally don't want you to put lots of time into this right now for my benefit. Purely because I can't say when or how long until I will spend time on this. If you are doing it for fun anyway then that's up to you of course :)

    Hi!

     

    All I can say is I definitely still want to make a decent beat em up, always have done. 

     

    But I must commit to finishing Nitrous and Crumbs first, before taking on anything else.

    My time is already limited so I dont want to spread myself too thin with too many projects.

     

    I was thinking something like Streets or Rage/Double dragon/final fight when I started this. 

     

    The engine I created in the video is quite old now and I'd want to rewrite it, applying all the knowledge I've learnt since it's creation. This should yield better results in the long run.

     

    I can't picture how it would look with digitised sprites as you suggested but feel free to post an example here or in PM.

    This is starting to look good. I suggest that you add a few more playable cars (such as a Lancia Beta Montecarlo/Scorpion, Vector W8, and a '75 Dodge Coronet with a beefed-up 440 just to name some), more songs, and I do know a few pixel artists on Newgrounds if you need help.

    Thanks for the offer, will keep in mind.

     

    I was thinking the other day about adding some car choices. I've made various optimisations lately and saved a load of space so it's more possible now than before.

     

    I've got to be careful with license/copyright etc.

    Perhaps some "similar" cars.

    Got to check this out at PRGE and it’s looking very exciting. I LOVE racing games.

     

    My only critique so far is that I hope the car sprites get a bit of polish before finalized. The car could really use some highlights and a bit more color variation so it doesn’t look so “8 to 16-bit”.  The road and everything is looking very nice.

     

    I’m really looking forward to this (and Crumbs).

    Yes, most graphics are still place holders. No point finalising them until I'm 100% happy with the engine, gameplay and features.

     

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Is this still true?  If it is, it really showcases the toolset.  If it's not still in Raptor BASIC+, then it still shows how one could prototype a game.

    Yep still 100% RB+

    Thanks everyone :)

     

    Hope you enjoy having a go at PRGE.

     

    The main thing I'm currently working on is the car physics. In the PRGE demo version, the car is a little too slippy on the corners. I think I've improved this now but it was too late for the PRGE cut off. 

    Likewise, the collisions and how they affect the player are being tweaked to keep the game flowing with less recovery time.

    My fav Demon :) - Were you able to add our buddy along with the Spider?  I know there was talk about limited space for assets so just curious if this gets released if people could build levels with both :)

    Maybe this screenshot will answer your question :)

    @Sporadic Dude, the work you guys are doing with Doom is phenomenal. You already know I'm loving the progress you've made with NotOutrun and Crumbs. I know you're gonna' knock this shit out the park. 

    Thanks! Always great to hear :)

    Is this the final version of spectres ?

    The originals are more transparent than that, i mean, not blue.

    Pc was fuzzy draw, ps1 were just transparent. What's to say the Jag ones can't be transparent blue? 😄

     

    This is our current version, it's a minor tweak with minimal impact to the rendering performance. Its certainly better than original Jag doom where they just show as normal pinky demons.

    Just showing my support. Keep it up guys. I'm floored on all fronts! 

     

    I find this freaking fascinating as a huge DOOM fan. Entertain me...

     

    - What would you collectively say allowed you do things others said wasn't doable?

    - Years & years of knowing the hardware (both limitations & abilities) to credit?

    - Would it have been doable for id to do this with more time or did they really push far for the time, being a fairly early release?

    Thanks for the feedback.

     

    We just got on and did it, it's as straight forward as that. Obviously experience with the hardware will always help but this isn't anything that couldn't have been done originally.

     

    I get the feeling it mostly came down to time Vs cost. What they managed was superb and still is the best original Doom port.

     

    We have the luxury now of time with no deadlines to adhere to, so we can give this great game the attention it deserves.

    We thought it would be good to start a dedicated thread for what now seems to be turning into Doom : Slayer Edition.

    We'll post updates in here as they happen etc.

     

    This first post will also be updated with all the news to keep it in a easy to find location.

     

    There's also a Q&A section after the news

     

    News

     

    Music added in levels with new volume slider in Options.

    - Music now plays during gameplay, not just in the Intermission.

     

    Pro-controller Support added.

    - Shoulder buttons strafe - Some weapons on the number pad had to be moved due to this, but it's worth it!

     

    Cheat menu added.

    - Easy to access cheat functions and fixed the map cheats that were previously inaccessible.

     

    JWad Support Added.

    - 'Drag drop' levels in the build process.

     

     

    Spider Mastermind Added.

    - All sounds, graphics and AI included. E3M8 added for good measure.

     

    Spectres Implemented.

    - Spectres (and other game objects) now correctly apply a 'shadow/trans' effect.

     

     

    Videos

    Initial preview (lots has changed since!)

     

     

    Q&A

    - What are the release/distribution plans for this?
    -- Not even thought about that yet.  There are obviously careful considerations that must be made.

     

    - When will it be finished?
    -- When it's ready!

    Some news ?

    Thanks for asking.

     

    Unfortunately no news at present. Life is being extremely busy at the mo.

     

    Never fear though, work on this (and Crumbs) will resume.
